Shahbaz Alam’s Fiery Response to “Jihadi” Trolls: “Everyone is Equal to Me!”
Shahbaz Alam is not holding back. The law influencer has slammed communal trolls, declaring that everyone is equal to him and urging both Hindu and Muslim youth to focus on education and achievement.
MUMBAI, INDIA – In a powerful and emotionally charged video that has taken the internet by storm, Shahbaz Alam, the popular Instagram influencer and law educator, has hit back at trolls who repeatedly label him a “Jihadi” and a “Mulla.” Alam’s impassioned plea for unity, education, and achievement, delivered with a mix of frustration and unwavering conviction, is a must-watch for anyone grappling with communal tensions in the digital age.
Alam, who makes videos related to law on his Instagram, revealed his growing frustration with the constant barrage of communal comments. “Ever since I started making videos, started teaching and explaining things to people, I’ve noticed one thing. No matter how much I teach or explain, people don’t look at my work; they look at my name and are sure to write things like, ‘Wow, a Jihadi is teaching.’ ‘Wow, a Mulla is teaching.’ ‘First go and teach your own madrasa-chap people. Go and teach your own community.’”
This relentless stereotyping, based solely on his name, has clearly taken a toll. Alam’s critics demand he confine his educational efforts to his own community, a notion he vehemently rejects. “Fine, brother. What you’re saying is right. You call me a Jihadi. Nowadays, many people are even calling APJ Abdul Kalam Sahab a Jihadi. Never mind.” This sarcastic acknowledgment of the absurdity of the accusations underscores the deep-seated prejudice he faces.
However, Alam’s response quickly shifts from frustration to a powerful message of inclusivity and aspiration. “So, I will not just explain this to my own community, but to everyone, because everyone is equal to me,” he declared, a clear and unequivocal statement of his belief in equality. He then delivered a rallying cry to both Hindu and Muslim youth:
“To all my Hindu brothers and all my Muslim brothers, become something. Study. Become an engineer, a doctor, write the IAS exam, become an IAS officer. Become whatever you want to be, brother. Don’t write ‘Proud IAS’ or ‘Proud IPS’ in your bio.”
This advice, to focus on substantive achievement rather than identity-based pride in professional titles, is a subtle yet profound critique of how identity politics can sometimes overshadow genuine merit. Alam’s message is a call to transcend communal divisions through education and hard work, urging young people to build a future based on competence and contribution.
Shahbaz Alam’s video has resonated deeply with many, sparking conversations about the pervasive nature of communal trolling on Indian social media and the urgent need for a more inclusive and respectful online environment. His courage in addressing these issues head-on, coupled with his message of unity, has earned him widespread praise.
“This is the kind of voice we need in India,” one user commented. “Shahbaz Alam is a true inspiration. He’s showing us that education and unity are the only way forward.”
